CAUTION: Consult with your physician before using this product if you are pregnant, diabetic or allergic to iodine. Do not take this product if you are using blood thinners or anticipate surgery.

Dosage: The current RDA for omega-3 fats is 1100 mg for women and 1600 mg for men. Each capsule of Ray & Terry's EPA/DHA Formula contains 1000 mg of fish oil of which 180 mg is EPA and 120 mg is DHA (total of 300 mg EPA/DHA per capsule).
We recommend 2 capsules twice a day for a total of 4000 mg of fish oil (1200 mg of EPA/DHA). This is an adequate dose for women, but men can obtain the RDA minimum by eating at least 2 servings of fish each week in addition to the 4 capsules of EPA/DHA a day. Otherwise, men need to take 3 capsules twice a day.
Ray & Terry's EPA/DHA contains 120 softgels per bottle.
Ray & Terry's EPA/DHA is equally effective when taken with or without food. However, if your digestive system is sensitive, you may want to take your supplements with meals.
This product has been tested for PCBs and is well within the limits of California Proposition 65. Our material contains less than 10% of the level allowed by this regulation.
Coming Back to Balance
The easiest way to bring the omega-3 : omega-6 ratio into balance is to decrease consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like corn and safflower oil and eat more omega-3 rich fish and fish oil.
The dry weight of your brain is 60% fat. The type of fat you incorporate into your brain reflects the type of fat you put into your mouth. The omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA are the preferred brain fats. Essentially the only place you can obtain these fatty acids is by eating fish and other seafood. The old wives' tale "Fish is brain food" is correct. If you don't eat fish and consume other less desirable fats such as the trans-fats found in margarine or heated rancid fats such as are typically found when food is deep fried, your brain incorporates these fatty acids into its infrastructure. The brain does not operate nearly as well on these less desirable fats.5,6
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in phytoplankton, a marine plant, which is eaten by fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, halibut, and sardines. The importance of omega-3 fats was first recognized from research on the Eskimos. Although the traditional Eskimo diet is extraordinarily high in fat, the rate of heart disease and cancer found among Eskimos is low. The primary fat in the Eskimo diet is omega-3.
Our fish oil is in strict compliance with California Proposition 65 and we have on hand a Certificate of Analysis for our EPA / DHA product. The guidelines set in the proposition are at <3ppm for the heavy metals and our formula comes in at <1ppm.
